here is a function for making random passwords. It works for the session you are in, and will need re-adding in a new session, eg you can close and open terminal and randpw will work but if you reboot you need to re-add the function.

To answer the question I missed that you posed, KeypassX is available in the Lite Software list I believe - I use that myself as a password store.

My plan for this year is to continue working through the Linux Bible, and then move onto learning the depths of the terminal from Beginning the Linux Command Line. (Both references below, should anyone want to explore the two books.)

Thanks to everyone here for LL - I've fallen in love with computing again. Assuming use of the term "computing" doesn't betray my age! Trying to convince friends and family to give LL a go, now that they are finding Windows 10 hard-going!

Are you using the Linux Bible with RHEL, Fedora, or Ubuntu Gnome, as its wrote for these, or another distro ?I didn't get far with it, Chapter 2 Gnome Extensions, it kept asking for the root password and wouldn't accept it, unsure what mistake I made, so I have removed it from VirtualBox and have not gotten around to putting it back to try again yet.

Update -I have reinstalled Fedora27 workstation, in VirtualBox on Linux Lite this morning, and have found where I went wrong on the install.So have managed to get the browser and install working on Fedora and the Gnome extensions is working, and I've added some menus, top and bottom panel, and changed the workspace switcher, as in the book.Not in the book also done 1366 updates, including the kernel and headers.The book sort of misses out all of this, and skips to using the Gnome extensions.

Cannot get the run script to work for the guest additions, as it says it needs to be installed in Fedora guest not on the host machine, so its next one to work on. This is also not covered in the book.It means I have managed to get .......... 2 pages further in Chapter 2 of the book now , not much but I'm still happy for the movement, I am where it says to jump to Chapter 10 for installing some stuff. (Maybe guest additions is covered there)

with learning it is always best to do what works well for you, being settled/comfortable seems to me to be a very big part of learning

LL is the only distro I use every day, I no longer use Windows, which is just since January, but it was a big step to take for me, it has taken me 3 years to get to take that step lol.
